GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Flowers in winter How to force bulbs

I

t could be spring. Now. Indoors, with the sweet fragrance from a flowerpot of pastel-colored hyacinths and other spring-flowering bulbs. All it takes is a little bit of trickery. The bulbs don’t have to wait till spring.

Knowing what a bulb is helps understand the trickery. But first: All that we commonly call a “bulb” is not, in fact, a bulb, botanically speaking. To conjure up an image of a true bulb, picture a stem that has been telescoped down from a couple of feet or more long to a fraction of an inch. All the leaves on that bulb also move down and closer together. The leaves, except the innermost ones, are thick and juicy, the better to store both moisture and food reserves.

Near the center of the bulb is a sleeping flowerbud. Hyacinths, daffodils and tulips are true bulbs.

Though often called a bulb, crocus is an example of a “corm.” A corm is also a short stem – in this case, a short fat stem that provides storage for food reserves for winter and to fuel early spring growth.

Forcing a bulb, real or not, to flower early indoors is, in many ways, just like forcing a cut branch of dogwood or plum to flower early indoors. Daffodil, hyacinth, tulip, crocus, dogwood and plum stems all enter winter with flowerbuds sleeping within.

All these stems of cold-climate plants are savvy enough not to start growing in the dead of winter, even after a freak warm spell. They do this by marking time, counting hours and days when temperatures are between about 30 and 45 degrees Fahrenheit – that is, cool but not frigid. Once sufficient hours have accumulated, their chilling “bank” has been filled and warmth can awaken a stem, whether it’s a dogwood branch or a daffodil bulb.

The first step in forcing a bulb is to get it to grow roots by planting it in a pot of soil or stones, or to suspend the bulb above water with only its base in the drink. A bulb’s roots, like the roots of other plants, grow whenever soil temperatures are above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, so they can be in place and ready to support leaves and flowers when spring comes.

In time – typically six to eight weeks, which varies with the type and variety of bulb – roots will grow and the winter chilling requirement will be satisfied. Once the chilling “bank” has been filled, growth can begin. A well-grown spring-flowering bulb comes packed with a flowerbud-in-waiting…waiting, that is, for a chilling period to break its dormancy and then sufficient warmth to allow growth. The larger the bulb, the more flowers-in-waiting.

Keeping a potted bulb cool at this point is useful for staggering flowering for multiple pots of bulbs or delaying flowering for a specific date, such as someone’s birthday.

When ready to enjoy the flowers, don’t just bring the pot into a hot room. They would blast open and collapse. The plants, at this point, need gradually increasing warmth, and enough light to draw out a sturdy flowerstalk. Forcing bulbs to blossom out-of-season demands a certain amount of artistry, in addition to science.

If you want flowers and want them now, and haven’t prepared bulbs ahead of time, you still have some options. Purchasing pre-chilled bulbs is one option. The other option

is to bypass the whole chilling rigmarole and force Paperwhite narcissi. These bulbs hail from perennially warm climes and will bloom without any prior chilling. All that’s needed is to pot them up and wait as long as it takes for the fragrant white blossoms to unfold. To stagger their blooms, pot them up sequentially; lack of water keeps them dormant.

When the flower on a forced bulb has wilted and the show is over, the usual next home for the bulb is the compost pile. If the plant has been planted in soil, and if the emerging leaves can be kept growing in very bright light for many weeks, sufficient energy can be garnered to keep the bulb alive through the following dormant season.

Then plant the bulb outdoors this autumn and it should flower again – in a few springs hence, once it garners enough energy to also make flowerbuds.

NIGHT SKY

Starry, starry weekend – and a bloodless Blood Moon

E

asy astronomy? Deep, profound, cool stuff with no pain? That’s this weekend.

Friday and Saturday night, any time you go out, look up at the sky. The Moon will be surrounded by over a half-dozen bright stars. Of the ten first-magnitude stars in the heavens, eight of them will surround the Moon. And this will be true both Saturday and Sunday nights. So let’s have some fun with this. Grab the kids or your spouse or a girlfriend or a boyfriend and step outside. Here’s a good reason you live in the country.

Look all around the Moon at those bright stars. First, look for color. It’ll take just a few seconds to see that they’re not all white. They’re pastels. So happens, there are no green stars in the universe.

But there are light blue and orange stars galore, and this weekend a bunch of those surround the Moon.

The colors tell tales. The bluish ones are the hottest and youngest. The orange ones are the coolest (in the temperature sense). You’ll notice that the star directly below the Moon, meaning the lowest-down of all the stars, is also the very brightest. This blue gem is the famous Dog Star: Sirius. It also happens to be the very closest star we can ever see from New York State.

The orange star to the right of the Moon on Saturday is Aldebaran, in Taurus the Bull.

The orange star to the lower right of the Moon Sunday night is Betelgeuse in Orion.

But why are they all concentrated in this one area? Look around the rest of the sky and there is no other place that has such a bunch of bright stars gathered together like this.

The reason is that right behind the Moon this weekend is the nearest spiral arm of our galaxy, the Orion arm. It’s a place where there is enough free hydrogen gas that new star formation is active. The center of all this starbirth is Orion, below the Moon. So it’s all very majestic and lovely. And it sure takes our minds away from events in Washington.

Whoops, sorry I said that.

Oh, and listen: Many in the media will be calling next week’s Full Moon a Blue Super Blood Moon. Here’s the inside word: It will look no different from any other Full Moon.

Really. No total eclipse for us, no Blood Moon, and it won’t look any larger either – except when it’s rising, like every other rising Moon.

MOVIE

January 25, 2018

HE’S MESMERIZING, CERTAINLY; but that has mostly to do with the fact that he’s being portrayed by the great Daniel Day-Lewis, who, in his typically compulsive, hands-on approach to tackling a character, actually learned to sew evening gowns in order to portray an elite 1950s English fashion designer.

LAURIE SPARHAM | FOCUS FEATURES

Daniel Day-Lewis and Vicky Krieps in Phantom Thread

Dark designs Daniel Day-Lewis risks being spectacularly unlikable in Phantom Thread

T

hough this writer likes to think of English as the world’s biggest playground, there are moments when the language fails me. I need a masculine equivalent for “diva,� complete with all its pejorative subtext, and there doesn’t seem to be one.

(In Italian, apparently, one can call an outstanding male opera singer a divo, but that doesn’t quite serve my purpose.) A feminist cannot help wondering why not. Is it simply so socially acceptable for a man to be picky and demanding that it occurs to no one to coin a term for it, whereas such behavior in women is automatically seen as beyond the pale?

Let’s put it this way: If you’ve ever been in the employ of a control freak of any gender – or worse, been romantically involved with one – Reynolds Woodcock, the lead character in Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest

film, Phantom Thread, is going to weird you out. I won’t call him the protagonist, because Woodcock’s personality is so offputting that no amount of artistic genius or correspondingly acute angst is going to be enough to draw the average audience member into any state resembling empathy. He’s mesmerizing, certainly; but that has mostly to do with the fact that he’s being portrayed by the great Daniel DayLewis, who, in his typically compulsive, hands-on approach to tackling a character, actually learned to sew evening gowns in order to portray an elite 1950s English fashion designer.

The character does not lack a capacity for charm, but it’s sporadically and abstemiously flexed. We first get to see it when, burned out after completing a commission for one of his aristocratic clients, Woodcock arrives in a seaside hotel dining room and fixes his hungry gaze upon one of the waitresses. Her name is Alma Elson, and we are never

told her nationality; she is foreign and multilingual, and the native accent of the actress, Vicky Krieps, is Luxembourgian.

No matter. Alma has a fresh, luminous, working-class sort of beauty that makes Reynolds’ crabbed soul light up – and even show a spark of warmth – the moment he sees her.

Meeting Alma is a very good thing for the audience, as well, because we

direly need a second point-of-view to get into the artist’s story. Krieps is a relatively unknown quantity with only minor film roles to her previous credit, but she is a real find, holding her own magnificently on a cinematic battlefield with the formidable Day-Lewis. She occasionally gets a bit of narration, in cutaways to a fireside conversation with another character, at first offscreen, who turns out to be a doctor played by Brian Gleeson. And indeed, the viewer’s sympathy lies primarily with Alma, who

January 25, 2018 becomes the latest in a series of Muses adopted (and usually swiftly discarded) by the artist whose aesthetic standards are so impossibly lofty as to outstrip any mere mortal companionship.

Alma quickly learns that Reynolds has zero tolerance for imperfection – or for interruptions of any kind to his household routine, which throw him off his creative stride. But it’s telling that the moment when she first catches his eye is a moment when she stumbles while carrying a tray of food. There is a piece buried deep inside Reynolds that craves her occasional awkwardness, the sense of unpredictability that she brings into his life. Alma somehow gets this, and sets her cap toward leveling the playing field between them. How she goes about it is where Phantom Thread attains a whole new level of creepy, and much too spoilery to discuss further, except to note that this movie is very much Anderson’s homage to atmospheric Hitchcockian mysteries of the ’40s such as Rebecca and Suspicion.

The tale has its Mrs. Danvers as well, in Reynolds’ severe and ever-present sister/ business partner, Cyril. Lesley Manville is wonderfully acerbic in the part, giving us a character who comes off at first as the ominous fly in the blissful new couple’s ointment and eventually as a potential ally in Alma’s campaign to wear down Reynolds’ uncompromisingly sharp edges.

Looming in both siblings’ background is also a dead mother, locks of whose hair the designer secretly stitches into his own clothing. She’s no stuffed Mrs. Bates, but her memory is definitely part of the toxic family dynamic that unspools here.

To the consternation of his admirers, Daniel Day-Lewis has publicly pronounced himself so depressed by his immersion in the character of Reynolds Woodcock that he is done with acting for good. One can sort of see why, although this is far from the most morally bankrupt part he has ever assayed. We can only hope that the actor eventually shakes off the gloom and finds another assignment that intrigues him irresistibly. Meanwhile, we have much careful stitchery to ponder here.

BSP IN KINGSTON HOSTS TIGER PISS REUNION CONCERT THIS FRIDAY

C

D release shows, anniversaries and reunions: These are the high-leverage shows in the life cycle of a rock band.

Bands invoke whatever goodwill they have accrued, call in the favors, blackmail when required, beg if necessary and otherwise roll out the big guns of persuasion to make these shows special. “If you can only make one, this is it.” So imagine the powers being martialed when, on Friday, January 26, not one, not two, but three bands of longstanding area renown are reuniting at BSP after hiatuses of various lengths.

The headliner is Tiger Piss, the hardworking trio featuring players who are all quite taken with their other projects now: Lara Hope of Ark-Tones fame; Reverend Kev from the heavy-metal-themed bluegrass band Red Nekromancer; and the guitarist and experimental composer Danny Asis. Back in the day, these three blew out windows locally and in frequent do-it-yourself tours around the contiguous 48 with a risqué brand of punk and post-hardcore rock for the people. Someone tried to get the piss out of their name, but it wasn’t long before the rechristened Tigeriss changed it back. They are Tiger Piss, for better or for worse.

Joining Tiger Piss on their tenth-anniversary reunion show are the reunited psychobilly/surf band the Arkhams and the reunited Golden-Age-of-cock-rock killers the Blind Ambassadors. The show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $10. For more information, visit www.bspkingston.com. BSP is located at 323 Wall Street in Kingston.

oodstock legend and Parliament Funkadelic frontman Michael “Clip” Payne brings his 420 Funk Mob to Colony in Woodstock for a special Grammy-weekend show on Saturday, January 27 at 9:30 p.m. What began as Clip’s side project has blossomed into a mainstage mad funk concern that features a rotating cast of performers, some of whom have worked with David Bowie, D’Angelo, Amy Winehouse, Lenny Kravitz and many more.

Tickets for this special blowout cost $20 in advance, $25 on the day of the show. For tickets and additional information, visit www.colonywoodstock.com.

Colony is located at 22 Rock City Road in Woodstock.

that term can be interpreted, it’s not immediately apparent how it applies to Andy Warhol’s personal aesthetic, other than his influence in terms of redefining the parameters of artistic perception. So maybe it’s a bit of a stretch to include “People are Beautiful: Prints, Photographs and Films by Andy Warhol,” the exhibition of 100 rarely seen portraits dated from 1964 to 1985 that opens January 26 at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, running through April 15.

The headline event for this year’s festival, which runs from February 1 to 11, encapsulates the “Adapting” theme more obviously. Ali Stoker, an actress, singer and activist who was the first wheelchairbound performer to star in a Broadway production – as Anna in Deaf West’s 2015 revival of Spring Awakening – and has also appeared in Glee, will give a recital at 3 p.m. on Sunday, February 11 in the Vogelstein Center for Drama and Film’s Martel Theater, followed by “Making Your Limitations Your Opportunities,” a moderated talk discussing Stoker’s work onstage and off.

“Animals, Adapting” is the topic of a series of ecological projections that explores the mutability of nature, created

by Class of ’17 Vassar grads Rick Jones and Henry Krusoe, which will be screened on various locations across campus daily throughout the Modfest period. Young humans from many lands who must

adapt to the reality of conflict in their communities are the subject of “Hello, Dear Enemy! Picture Books for Peace and Humanity,” an exhibit running all month in the Old Bookstore in the College Center.

Another traveling exhibition, opening January 25 and running through March 5, is “The First Comes Love Project.”

It features photographs, stories and video that bear witness to the ways in

which LGBTQ couples have endured the challenges, victories, defeats, births, deaths, loves and losses that any couple faces in many years together. There will be an opening reception for this show in the Palmer Gallery in the College Center, from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, February 1.

Also on the Modfest roster are the second annual Adene and Richard Wilson Concert, featuring Vassar faculty, on Saturday, February 3 at 7 p.m.; “Music, Words and Images,” a program of performances and readings on Friday, February 2 at 7 p.m.; and “West Side Story: The Mind and Music of Leonard Bernstein,” a lecture/recital by Dr. Richard Kogan on Sunday, February 4 at 3 p.m.

All three concerts take place in the Skinner Hall of Music, as do two shows on Saturday, February 10: the Community Youth Concert at 3 p.m., featuring the Cappella Festiva Cor Capriccio & Treble Choir and Stringendo, and a student-run Cabaret Night at 7 p.m.

At the Frances Daly Fergusson Dance Theater in Kenyon Hall on Friday, February 9 at 7 p.m., the Vassar Repertory Dance Theatre will perform world premieres by adjunct artist Leslie Partridge Sachs and returning graduate Alaina Wilson.

Admission to Modfest events is typically free-but-ticketed; contact the Vassar box office at boxoffice@vassar. edu or (845) 437-5599 or visit the college website at www.vassar.edu to make your reservations. Contact the Office of Campus Activities at least 48 hours in advance of an event, Mondays through Fridays, at (845) 437-5370 if you have special accessibility needs. The Vassar campus is located at 124 Raymond Avenue in Poughkeepsie.

Neil Gaiman to talk with Lemony Snicket at Bard

reat minds meet in casual dialogue when Bard’s Fisher Center presents authors Neil Gaiman and Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket) in conversation at the Sosnoff Theater on Friday, March 16 at 8 p.m. Hosted by Bard’s Professor Gaiman, the conversation will focus on adaptation, collaboration and the role of the writer as giver of advice. “My parents claim that when I was six years old I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, and my answer was that I wanted to be an old man who lived at the top of a mountain giving advice,” says Handler, the best-selling author of the A Series of Unfortunate Events series.

Upstate Films to screen Matilda for adult-child book group Oblong Books and Upstate Films in Rhinebeck are collaborating to present a screening of the 1996 film Matilda on Sunday, February 4 at 1 p.m.

Attendees are invited to read the book before the screening, then stay afterward for a post-film book group discussion led by Oblong Books. All ages are welcome to attend the screening, with the book discussion optional.

The film was directed by Danny DeVito and based on the book by Roald Dahl.

Matilda contains the stuff of traditional children’s stories – a wicked step-aunt, a true friend with a pure heart and more than a little magic – but “traditional” isn’t a word that comes to mind when describing this film. DeVito’s quirky direction of the exaggerated characters and extraordinary situations matches Dahl’s novel about neglectful parents, cruel teachers and the revenge of a brave little girl.

The plot centers on the young daughter (Mara Wilson) of Harry and Zinia Wormwood (Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman). Though her parents may live “in a very nice neighborhood in a very nice house,” they are not very nice people. Mr. Wormwood is a used-car salesman whose movements are being tracked by the police, and Mrs. Wormwood is obsessed with bingo parlors and television game shows.

Though Matilda shows signs of amazing intelligence and remarkable powers, her parents are neglectful. Eventually, they send her off to an elementary school lorded over by the horrifying Miss Trunchbull (Pam

Ferris), whose personal motto is “Use the rod, beat the child.” Practicing what she preaches, Miss Trunchbull takes delight in informing her charges that her idea of a perfect school is one where there are no children. Fortunately for Matilda, her first-grade teacher, the kind and good-hearted Miss Honey (Embeth Davidtz), immediately recognizes her new student’s amazing gifts.

The running time is one hour, 38 minutes. Tickets cost $10 for adults, $8 for seniors or students and $6 for children under age 16. To purchase tickets in advance, visit www.brownpapertickets. com/event/3233150. A small service fee will be added. To purchase the book from Oblong Books before the screening, visit www.oblongbooks.com/ book/9780142410370.

ERICA'S CANCER JOURNEY

“No strings attached” “Did you hear about the violist who played in tune?…Neither did I.” – #457 of countless viola jokes

T

oday, I danced with Copernicus, Shakespeare and Penthesilea, Queen of the Amazons. How, you ask? By playing my viola! Each of these figures hails from the same era as the beginnings of this stringed instrument.

My invisible connective thread stretches through time like my hand extends along the fingerboard: from Mozart, whose quartet I was rehearsing; to my grandfather, who enjoyed decades of music-making on this very instrument well before it was entrusted to me; to Jimi Hendrix, whose musical experience began with this instrument when he was still Johnny Allen Hendrix; and Jeremy Green, who builds on the viola legacy with a fresh approach through videos of modern covers, such as Sia’s “Chandelier” and Pharrell Williams’ “Happy.”

I converted to viola from violin during college. Viola immediately felt like my home, my true instrumental “voice,” but in a foreign country! I was familiar with the overall mechanics and the three out of the four strings that it shares with violin; but learning to read notes in the alto, or “C” clef, felt the same as absorbing Portuguese when I was in Mozambique: I would assume parallels with Spanish that were not commonalities at all. Like Portuguese, alto clef was completely different from anything I had encountered before, while being agonizingly familiar because the notes look the same – just sitting on different lines in the staff.

As a classically trained musician who relies on sheet music, I have always envied people who can casually engage a group around a campfire with their guitar, strumming chords and effortlessly bringing the circle into song. Mozart isn’t quite the same social glue. So I tried Irish fiddle recently, which is played by ear.

Turns out it takes way more effort than I am willing to invest. Today’s quartet rehearsal felt good, including friends I used to play chamber music with, and meeting a couple of new ones. I feel energized, invigorated, happy, alive playing viola. Home. My soul voice. I’ve been away from it for a while. Now, I’m back to this center of my musical labyrinth.

As I navigate innumerable decisions along this terminal cancer journey, having the strength and desire to return to beloved interests like viola feels like a precious gift. Prioritizing joy balances out the countless stressors in my life right now, making choices that not only feel good but truly support Authentic Me, as I travel along a twisty path with plenty of efforting, pain and frustration. Whether alone practicing at home or making music with friends, viola organically ties me into the larger world. In the same way, whether isolated in a hospital bed or surrounded in a healing circle, cancer invites me to draw from these rich lessons in other areas of my life.

Learning new meds is like encountering a new clef. Meeting a medical caregiver and her staff feels like introducing myself to the new cellist, who expands my awareness by suggesting I check out violinist Lindsey Stirling’s video cover of “Radioactive with Pentatonix.” Experiencing a new treatment is like sight-reading.

Viola is an invisible tether to My Life, a tribute to my link in the chain of my present, past and future. My labyrinth. No strings attached.

Head On and Heart Strong!

West’s Ceramics offers classes & parties If you’re considering taking up the art of ceramics, or if you’re already immersed in it, you need to know about a local resource called West’s Ceramics. Located in Highland, it’s a one-stop shop for all your potterymaking needs.

To get started, of course, you need tools, material and guidance. West’s facility is equipped with its own state-of-the-art kilns, so you can bring your greenware or bisque here for firing and glazing if you wish. You can also buy a kiln for home use or a potter’s wheel.

Once your home operation is established, you’ll need to resupply regularly. West’s Ceramics is a distributor for Laguna Clays and Mayco Colors. You can choose smooth clays for throwing, grog/sand for handbuilding. Different types are more suitable for low-, mid- and high-fire tempering and glazing. There’s even a type of clay available that’s self-hardening. West’s also carries a broad range of materials for painting and glazing your pottery.

New to ceramics? Take a class! Certified instructors are on hand at West’s to offer seminars on a regular basis, and you can even book them for a decidedly unusual and creative birthday party. If you’re an old hand, and your kiln or wheel breaks down, you can call West’s for a repair as well; they do house calls.

West’s Ceramics is located at 4 Lumen Lane in Highland. Shop hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. To schedule a class or find out more, call (845) 691-6060, e-mail westsceramicsinc@yahoo.com or call www.westsceramicsupply.com.

NATURE Shore thing Great Hudson River views from the Mills Mansion and Norrie Point trails

T

he opulent interiors of the Gilded Age mansions that line the Hudson’s eastern shore are often eclipsed by the beauty of their surroundings, laid out by the likes of Calvert Vaux expressly for the purpose of revealing surprising new vistas around every bend.

Among the better-known grand homes in the Estates District Scenic Area of Statewide Significance, a 27-mile stretch of the Hudson River’s eastern shorelands from Germantown to south of the FDR sites in Hyde Park, is Staatsburgh, a Beaux Arts palace also known as the Mills Mansion. It’s the primary destination point in the Ogden Mills and Ruth Livingston Mills Memorial State Park. Adjacent to the Mills parklands is Margaret Lewis Norrie State Park; together they comprise about 1,000 acres (including Esopus Island, where notorious archmage Aleister Crowley once took a meditation vacation [http://bit.ly/2DAQP4T]).

January 25, 2018 expand to it 18 holes. The Dinsmore Golf Course is considered the third-oldest golf course in the US. Its clubhouse includes a restaurant called Eagles’ Nest II. The Land Acquisition Bond Act allowed the park to absorb another 265 acres of land, including the Lewis Gordon Norrie Playground, which was built on the ruins of an old icehouse and named for a local 19-year-old killed in an automobile accident in 1924.

The former residence of Lydig Manson Hoyt, The Point, was added in 1963. Betterknown locally as Hoyt House, the Vaux-designed Gothic Revival mansion is still awaiting restoration.

New York State acquired the former Staatsburg School property in 2003; it now serves as the Taconic Regional Offices of the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Today, the former Point Inn is home to the DEC’s Norrie Point Environmental Center and headquarters for the Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve.

It’s a popular site for Environmental Education field trips for local schools, and sporadically open for programs for the general public.

One of the unusual amenities of the Norrie part of the park complex is that it offers overnight use during camping season, from late April through October.

There are 46 tent sites and ten cabins – half of them built by the CCC, the other half in the 1950s – available for rental at the campground. There’s also a pavilion

near the playground, built in 1925, equipped with charcoal grills and suitable for family gatherings on a first-come, firstserved basis, no rental fee required.

Combined, the parks boast a total of 11.6 miles of trails, suitable for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. (Crosscountry skiers and snowshoers more typically use the golf course.)

Wa l k e r s can make a great day’s outing by making a loop of about five miles combining the white-blazed River Trail (a designated Hudson River Valley Greenway Trail and part of the Hyde Park Trail System) with the blue trail, slightly farther inland and at a higher elevation. Both offer splendid views of the Hudson, and the River Trail features benches where you can contemplate the Esopus Meadows Lighthouse, Esopus Island and other scenic points of interest.

These trails can be accessed from parking areas near the Staatsburgh mansion at their northern end and the environmental center at their southern end. There’s also a “bluebird trail” of some 55 nest boxes maintained by the Ralph T. Waterman Bird Club.

Oh, and in wintertime, the hill at Staatsburgh is a primo sledding location.

GARDENING

’Tis the season for fresh herbs

S

econd-best to fresh-picked vegetables in winter – which are not within most gardeners’ grasp, with temperatures in the single digits – are fresh-picked herbs. Fresh-picked herbs, indoors, in winter are within the grasp of most gardeners, even non-gardeners.

Flowering and fruiting demand lots of light energy, but it is the leaves of most herbs that provide us with flavoring, so most herbs do fine in any reasonably bright window.

The same goes for normal household temperatures and humidity. So make space near your windows for herb plants!

Let’s look below-ground now. Any potting mix suitable for houseplants will also be to the liking of herb plants. The mix should hold some moisture between waterings, while at the same time drain well so that roots, which need to breathe, don’t suffocate. My own mix – made from equal parts compost, perlite, peat moss and soil – provides air and moisture as well as nutrients and beneficial microorganisms that keep plants healthy. Soil dug from the garden and used straight-up is never suitable; in the confines of a flowerpot, it holds too much moisture.

Now for the plants: Many people, perhaps most, choose basil as their number-one herb to grow. Nix on that, indoors. Think of a Mediterranean summer with bright LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY sunlight beaming down on warm soil. That’s what basil The best herbs for indoor growing are perennial, woody, subneeds, and what you can’t provide in winter – except with tropical plants. Before you bemoan my nixing of basil, chives supplemental light and, depending on your thermostat and parsley, consider these perennials: bay (above), rosemary, setting, supplemental heat. Not in my house. sage and thyme.

I’d also suggest against parsley or chives. The problem is that neither grows fast enough to keep up with periodic clipping of the amounts normally harvested.

The best herbs for indoor growing are perennial, woody, subtropical plants. Before you bemoan my nixing of basil, chives and parsley, consider these perennials: bay, rosemary, sage and thyme.

Bay, rosemary, sage and thyme are also good choices for indoor growing because they do double duty: They’re pretty as well as flavorful, can stand repeated harvest and live for years and years. My bay tree started life here as a small plant carried back in my backpack from California over 25 years ago. My rosemary plants are each a few years old and show no signs of decline.

Both bay and rosemary are happy to be trained as bushes, as topiaries or as miniature trees. Mine are miniature trees, each plant with a short length of trunk capped by a mophead of leaves (and flowers, now, in the case of rosemary). Their training began early, when I selected a single vigorous shoot for each plant, staked it upright and removed all other shoots. Once shoots achieved head-height (the height of their proposed head: an artistic rather than horticultural decision), I pinched out their growing tips to induce side shoots to grow. I pinched the tips of side shoots to induce them, in turn, also to branch. All this pinching induced a dense mophead of stems and leaves atop each trunk: small lollipop trees.

Maintenance of the bay and rosemary is easy. Both are as large as I’d like them to be, so every year or two, they get tipped out of their pots and an inch or two shaved off the outside of their rootballs. After returning to their pots, potting soil gets packed into the space beyond the periphery of the rootballs, giving new roots access to fresh soil and nutrients.

Their heads also get trimmed periodically to maintain their neat shape. The annual trimming provides a bumper harvest, but a few leaves or stems can be clipped for seasoning any time of year.

I’m not enough of a fan of sage or thyme to grow them through winter indoors. But sage could be grown as a small, decorative shrub, especially varieties such as Tricolor, with white-edged leaves, Purpurascens, with purplish leaves, or Aurea, with some gold in its leaves. Thyme, which comes in various colors and flavors (lemon or caraway, for example), is a subshrub, or ground cover. How about a thyme ground cover carpeting the ground at the feet of a potted miniature bay tree?

Ongoing care for any of these herbs is watering, which can spell the difference between success or failure. Neither rosemary, bay, sage nor thyme readily show their thirst with wilting leaves. Years ago, as I brushed past the little rosemary tree I was growing at the time, all the leaves dropped off. The plant was dead.

The potting soil for any of these plants needs to be kept just moist. Scheduled watering won’t do, because watering needs change through the season with growing conditions. A $10 “moisture meter” is an easy way to tell whether a plant is thirsty – as is, with practice, lifting a pot to feel how heavy it is.

I saw two bluebirds a few days ago, but am not ascribing any significance to the sighting. They’re just pretty.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x).

Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
